Being healthy is a goal of mine. I am still working on my fitnessgoals, but I feel much better nowthat I have done the #proteinchallege.I usually don’t post body selfies, butI am so happy with my results I wantedshare.

I learned that I only ate about half of the protein that my body needs.I learned that I have a lot more energy if I eat my full protein requirements for the day.I lost 5 pounds!I lost 6 inches!I learned that having a high protein breakfast makes a world of difference.I learned that I don’t need snacks if I get my recommended protein.Its a fact, that adults in the U.S. are encouraged to get 10% to 35% of their day’s calories from protein foods. That’s about 46 grams of protein for women, and 56 grams of protein for men, according to WebMd . I would encourage you all to take the #proteinchallege. Another fact is a 3-ounce serving of beef provides more than 10 essential nutrients and about half of your Daily Value for protein. (http://factsaboutbeef.com)

To help me with my protein challenge diary I used a an app on my phone called My Fitness Pal. It is a good way to keep a diary of what you eat.

Another challenge that I took with the #proteinchallenge was to drink 100 oz. of water a day. Water is so important to our bodies and drinking 100 oz of water and eating my recommended serving of protein has made me a better healthier person.

So, my friends, I would challenge you to enter the #proteinchallenge and see what kind of results you get.
